I thought it was a great success, with lots of interesting booths and, of course, great food and cocktails. One booth in particular was really capturing the crowd’s attention – not a surprise since it was serving smoking drinks!

That’s right, smoking, because the Ketel One drinks at the Modern Mixology booth were being made with liquid nitrogen. Take a look at the short video at right to see the action.

The drinks — Chocolate Martini “Dippin’ Shots” and Nitro Sangria — were more than gimmicks; they were actually really good.

The Swan and Dolphin has already scheduled the next Food & Wine Classic, for Oct. 7-8, 2011. This year, you could buy individual tastings or a wristband for $50 that got you unlimited samples and a seminar. Judging by the amount of interesting things to try, I think the wristband was well worth it.

The resort also offered some packages that included a hotel room, food and wine seminars, and Food & Wine Classic wristbands, so be on the lookout for those specials next year.
